It appears that E, the last of 7 digits in the Applied Model, refers to Electronic 4EAT transmission, therefore all SVX Applied model codes would end in 'E'. This is consistant with the info in the link posted by B3lha early in this thread.
Therefore, it would seem that something in Dan's engine code would specify non-emission status. It would be helpful to have the information on the strut tower for various market cars, in order to make better conclusions about engine codes, transmission codes, applied models, etc.
Dan's engine code is: EG33DRX2DB. If we had more information, we may be able to determine what specs are coded in the Engine Code.
Joe, Earl, if you have more info I could review for conclusions, please email it to me
